Love's Lore

So often when two people become a couple, they meld into one identity, forget the vitality of their independence, and lose sight of why they were drawn to each other in the first place. Relationships are meant to sustain life's ups and downs and are stronger when they allow for different perspectives. Maintaining separate interests and views will strengthen a couple's life together and help them understand subjects they may have never considered. "Love's Lore" is a collection of love notes that covers decades of marriage between a couple who managed to stay in love through all the highs and lows of life.

Chazz Levi met her husband Howard Crouch in 1975 while getting her BFA at Colorado State University They got married in 1978 and moved to NYC, where she opened a flower shop with a friend in the East Village. In 1983 her son Cole was born and she shifted her business from having a store to creating a weekly account service for showrooms and offices . By 1986 she was fortunate in having corporate clients like Estee Lauder and Condé Nast where her floral displays got attention and allowed her expand her business to create floral designs for weddings .
As word of mouth spread, she shifted from weekly accounts into only designing personal and corporate events regardless of size or budget.
Through working with clients who were embarking one of the most important decisions of their lives she came to understand that we all have the same relationship goals but it how we "navigate" each situation as it comes up.

Love's Lore is where Chazz has combined her own experience with brides as well as and her personal valentines which reflect what she and her husband have made over the course of their 46-year marriage.
